Alpine PKG-1000 10.2" DVD Monitor installed

I was planning on makeing it a How to, but when I got to the Hobby shop the battery was dying. I could only take this one pic. The Row of red LEDs are the Infrared transmitters for the headphone. Had to take the headliner down and put a piece of wood between the roof braces to support it. Then I took the expanding foam and out it between the roof metal and the wood. The center of the headliner has a 1/2 layer of fiberfill as an temp/anti-rattle barrier. There is ABSOLUTELY no support in the midddle of the headliner to hold it to the roof. I F'd up. I calculated that I needed 3/4" lond screw to mount the monitor to the wood. It wasnt long enough so I thought I went with a 1" but it was actually 1 1/4". Yeppers the screw peaked the roof sheet metal. Not being the smartest it seems, I took the back side of a screwdriver to try to knock the peek down and now I have a dent about 5" across. Looks like someone took their fist and hit the roof. I have one of them body suction cup dent pullers and see if I can pop it out tomorrow, but probabaly not. Man I keep giving these guy more and more bodywork ahhaah.
Oh well, live and learn. Oh yeah I got it for $500 ($50 off of list). There stereo shop would have charged $200 to install it, hopefull the roof bodywork wont cost more than that.
